Gen III layout for color blindness

[knappweld]

Hey, does anyone have a graph layout for color blind folks.
Just seeing if I can find something better than what I've set up.
Frustrating as hell trying to read different colored lines when most of them just blend together.
Thanks, Mark

Can't help you with the layouts. But my brother is also severely color impaired, he got some relatively pricey glasses that corrected his impairment. He claims he sees about 70% more color with the glasses on. Shit I remember when we were kids everything was yellow or black to him.

I can come up with a color scheme that could work for you. Do you know specifically what type of color blindness you have?

• Protanopy (~1 % of men)
• Deuteranopy (~1 % of men)
• Protanomaly (~1 % of men)
• Deuteranomaly (~5 % of men, ~0.4 % of women)

Protanomaly.
I've seen the advertising for the glasses. One day I am going to try them.
I really appreciate you willing to help me with this! Thanks again! Mark

I cant help with the color thing but it would be a nice feature in HPT if you could make the lines different styles like in the microsoft office stuff with different dash and dot patterns.

Ya, that would be cool too.

Okay, I played with some colors for a while and couldn't get it to look right, so I made a quick rundown on how to use an online tool, so you can try to find a good mix of colors for yourself. The tool is called Palleton. Its my go-to tool for finding sets of colors that work together well for web designs and user interfaces.

You can SHIFT+Click the small circles in the color wheel to change that color.

To make all the colors brighter or darker, click the darker small circle in the middle and drag it around.

Once you have colors that are easy for you to tell apart, click on the colored boxes on the right.

And copy the RGB [0-255] values into HPTuners.

Hopefully this helps you out some!
